Guild Wars 2

From my thoughts and other peoples what say we change sword two to leap + 3 sec snare.

Then change sword 3 to something else, like a 2 second disarm. (fits with the whole 1h sword fencing idea).

Reason being as mentioned. Sword two has a delay when you land, so it never lands you on top of a target, but where it was when you started the leap, and then you pause for a little when you hit the ground, so they target will be out of range for any follow up manouvere.

Gap closer + snare in 1 skill? Are you a GS warrior looking for a backup bulls charge or something :o

Considering the gap closer never lands on target due to a broken mechanic and to use sword 3 you pretty much need to be on top of them, and even if it misses it goes on cool down combining them doesn’t seem particularly overpowering.

I use multiple combinations of weapons depending on what i’m facing. I’ve merely noticed that sword 2 always needs to be combined with another cooldown to be effective and consequently the damage component of sword 2 never happens.

How many times does axe 3 miss, or sword 4 and bolas……having a consistant gap closer is essential for a warrior. This is why equipping bulls charge has become almost mandatory in non ranged specs.

Also..sword 3 really? A single target melee range snare on a 15 second timer.

As a warrior as soon as I walk into a fight i’m snared from some aoe/ranged ability/trap. I’m generally pretty amazed when i’m not snared by something or other.

The Mainhand Sword is all about controlling. I like it as it is because I find it very viable and useful.

However I do understand concerns. Guardians have a Blind on their sword leapattack adding a minor effect on it too would only be fair. How about a weakness? A Guy in heavy armor jumping in your face can easily get you out of balance for some secs.
